Kind of like when you tell a Yahoo technician to google something? Or mention a petrol bowser? Get over it... noone's deliberately slandering the italian's, if anything they're acknowledging that they were the best in a particular field. It's like calling script kiddies crackers, or even going so far as to call them "hackers". It's only offensive if you want it to be offensive. Until then, get off slashdot and let me read some real information.

On Topic: Why is this news? We've been watching worms and other "malware" fight it out for the last few years... they come up with new weapons, we come up with new protections (and some of us with hats stained gray may come up with a few new weapons too ;)... same shit different day...
